Law Society committed to working with stakeholders to address justice system concerns

While the Law Society is still studying the report, President Bruce LeRose, QC noted Cowper makes a number of recommendations to address how he believes the justice system could be better managed, and to identify the institutional elements he considers necessary for the system as a whole to succeed.

“His recommendations call on all justice system stakeholders to work together to address concerns raised during his consultations,” said LeRose. “The Law Society remains engaged in this important process and looks forward to working with everyone involved to improve public outcomes and maintain a sound justice system.”
